Make and colour: 17 - Natural
Packaging: The make up sits in a pot at the bottom and flows through to the brush. Compact and novel although it seems 17 have sacrificed the usability function for a gimmicky product.
Description: A pure and gentle mineral blusher for a healthy natural glow. Sweep over cheeks with built in brush for easy application.
Texture: Fine and lightweight.
Effect: Because the blusher is hard to regulate you end up either getting no blusher or too much, making it also messy, however it does give rosy cheeks when slowly applied.
Price: £3.99
Additional: An original idea to have built in brush but not sure if this does justice to the product.
